Achillea (Yarrow) – Texture and Meadow Charm
Achillea is the ultimate choice for those who love "meadow" and "boho" aesthetics. This hardy perennial from the Asteraceae family is prized for its architectural form and incredible resilience.
Appearance and Season: Achillea is easily recognized by its feathery, deep green foliage and flat-topped clusters known as corymbs. These "flower plates" are composed of hundreds of tiny florets. In nature, Yarrow begins to bloom in early summer (June) and its season lasts until the first autumn frosts in October. It thrives in sunny locations and can withstand dry conditions, making it a "tough" beauty.
Symbolism and History: The botanical name Achillea refers to the Greek hero Achilles. Legend has it that he used this plant to treat the wounds of his soldiers during the Trojan War. Consequently, Yarrow has symbolized courage, healing, and inner strength for centuries. In folklore, it was often used as a protective herb to bring love and longevity to a household.
Florist Monika’s Tip: "Achillea is the perfect structural filler. It has a very stiff, woody stem that doesn't rot easily in the vase. It creates a beautiful textural backdrop for larger focal flowers like sunflowers. It is also a star in our dried flower bouquets because it retains its vibrant color and shape long after it has dried."
✦ Vase Life: When ordering cut flowers by stem, simply give them a sharp diagonal cut. They will stay fresh in clean water for 10 to 14 days.
